SHADE AND CURTAIN-POLE BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 614,201, dated November 15, 1898.

Application filed August 24, 1898. Serial No. 689,431. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. CORSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Salem, in the county of Essex and State of Massa chusetts,have invented certain new and usef n1 Improvements in Shade and Curtain-Pole Brackets; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in shade and curtain-pole brackets, and has for its object the simplification of existing structures and the production of an efficient adj ustable holder for one or more window-shades and a curtain pole or rod.

My invention consists in the improvement in shade and curtain-pole brackets hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred form of my invention, Figure 1 is a plan view of the brackets. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the upperbracket as shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the same.

My bracket consists of a main base A, provided with holes a for attaching-screws, by means of which the base may be secured to the inside of the window-jamb. Projected at right angles from the outer end of the base A is the extension B, which supports on its end the outwardly-projecting stud O, which through the square hole 0 in its end is adapted to carry a longitudinally-adjustable rod D, adapted to be secured in place by a screw 0. Mounted upon the rod D is a pole-support E, which is provided at its lower end with a hole which fits the rod D, being adapted to be secured thereto by a set-screw 6. Upon the upper end of the pole-holder E is mounted a pole-ring F, which embraces the curtain-pole, which is held in the ring by a set-screw f. The support E is also provided with a curtain-rod hole G, through which a small curtain-rod may be passed and secured in place by a set-screw g.

The base A is provided with notches 0,,

cured therein by a set-screw a the head of which projects over and thus closes the notch and prevents the accidental removal of the shade from its support. The opposing bracket A is provided with circular holes a to receive the round ends of the shade.

It is now found desirable in many instances to employ two shades, an outer or dark shade and an inner or lighter-colored shade, so that varying quantities of light may be admitted through the window. Provision is made to receive the second shade in holes at, out in the inner ends of the rod D. One of them maybe flat, as shown in Fig. 2, and the other round.

The fixture, owing to the capability of longitudinal adjustment of the rods D, accommodates itself to inner shades of different widths.

The two brackets are identical in all particulars except in the detail above pointed out. It is thus seen that in my improved shade and curtain-pole bracket provision is made for an outer shade adjustable toward and from the window, for an inner shade of varying width, and for a curtain pole or rod which may also vary in length.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. In a shade and curtain-pole bracket, the

combination with a base having a recess for receiving one end of an outer shade and pro= vided with a stud, of a longitudinally-adjust able rod supported by said stud, and provided with a recess for the reception of one end of an inner shade, and a curtain-pole support adjustably mounted upon the rod, substantially as described.

2. In a shade and curtain-pole bracket, the combination with a base provided with a plurality of recesses to receive one end of an outer shade, adapted to be secured to the in ner jamb of a window-frame, and having a lateral extension carrying an outwardly-extending stud, a longitudinally-adjustable rod supported in the said stud and provided with a recess in its inner end to receive one end of an inner shade, means for securing the rod in fixed position in the stud, a pole-support adjustabiy supported upon said rod, and means for securing the said pole-support in any desired position on the said rod, substantially as described. 10

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
